14 Boho Gifts For Writers

Admit it, at one point or another you’ve had that one friend who loved to read. The friend ,who’d most often than not, would rather burry her face in a book on a Saturday night instead of going out for a night on the town to drink away the sorrows of the week until the wee hours of the morning. And as years rolled by, that love of reading helped spark ideas which she jotted down on her brown hardback notebook. Every chance she’d get, she’d take her ideas ,remix them and paint a picture with words. And she developed her skill and got good. Real good at that.

So after a while, writing became more than just a hobby, it became her bread and butter. She’d type and type and type till her fingers felt like they were about to fall off. Each year, she’d always have so much work on her plate that you’d actually have to remind her that it’s her birthday. And as the 1st of December marked the calendar, you’d message her on Facebook to ask if she’d be joining for Secret Santa on the 24th, to which she’d reply, “Oh yeah, it’s Christmas soon.I’ll let you know in a few days; I’ve got tons of work to finish up before the holiday’s start. But I should be in.”

And as each celebration approached you were lost for ideas of what to buy her. You’d stick to buying her the same notebook, only in a different color this time. Maybe a ball pen to go with it. “Hmmm….purple’s a pretty color,”you say whilst reaching out for the emergency gift you got last-minute because you’d over thought about what to get again and ended up getting nothing at all.

And every time each celebration would finally arrive, you’d hand her your wrapped-up present in a slightly awkward fashion hoping she’d smile. Of course, she always would. But deep down you’d once again experience that feeling of dread. The feeling that your gift was so cliché. So, damn unoriginal.

Yet, this time will be different. You’ll get something that will put a smile on her face and make her think of you every time. Just have a look at our curated list of boho gifts for writers, by writers. So, you definitely won’t get it wrong this time round.
